Patients

After the outbreak of COVID-19, Chinese medical workers have done their utmost to treat the patients. By the end of March, the oldest COVID-19 patient cured was 103 years while the youngest only 17 days. On March 10, during his inspection in Hubei, Xi Jinping expressed sympathy to the patients, tried to boost their morale, and asked them to follow the doctor’s advice for recovery at an earlier date.

In the treatment of COVID-19, the severe and critical cases – the key to bringing down the fatality rate – were given top priority. To crack this toughest nut, Chinese medical workers have worked out different ways to treat the severe cases, with the goal of raising the cure rate and lowering the fatality rate. These included setting up a visiting team of academicians, forming an expert group, updating the treatment plan seven times, organizing an emergency intubation team for COVID-19 patients, and promoting clinical use of traditional Chinese medicines. 

In Wuhan, the number of beds in 11 hospitals designated for the treatment of severe and critical cases exceeded 9,000. More than 13,000 intensive care health professionals from 90-plus national and provincial medical teams participated in the treatment of severe cases, accounting for nearly 10% of the national intensive care personnel resources. By March 31, more than 76,000 patients had been cured and discharged, with a cure rate of 93.5%. Among them, more than 63,000 were in Hubei, with a cure rate of over 93%.

患者群眾

新冠肺炎疫情發生以來,中國醫護人員盡己所能、全力以赴救治病患。截至3月底,新冠肺炎患者中年齡最大的治愈患者103歲,最小的僅出生17天。2020年3月10日,習近平在湖北省考察疫情防控工作時對正在接受治療的患者送去慰問,鼓勵患者群眾樹立必勝信心,保持樂觀向上的精神狀態,主動聽從醫囑,積極配合治療。

新冠肺炎救治工作中,重癥、危重癥的救治是重中之重,也是降低病死率的關鍵。面對這一最艱難的關隘,中國醫護人員對抗重癥的步履不停,通過組建院士巡診團隊,成立聯合專家組,七次修訂優化救治方案,組織插管小分隊,推廣中醫藥臨床使用等多項措施,提高治愈率、降低病亡率。在武漢,11家收治重癥、危重癥定點醫院的總床位達到9000多張,來自全國90多支國家級、省級的醫療隊的13000名重癥專業醫務人員參與新冠肺炎重癥的救治工作,接近全國重癥醫務人員資源的10%。截至3月31日,全國累計治愈出院病例超7.6萬例,治愈率為93.5%;其中,湖北全省累計治愈患者63000多例,治愈率超93%。
